XB9 Lock mishap, XB12SCG service
1-5-2016 - XB9 Lock mishap, XB12SCG service, XB12S hammertime
what happens if you put a disk lock in your rear pully and forget it... well in this case the swing arm got pushed out, lucky old model swingarm these are stronger than the new model ones in this direction
the pully has been rubbing away the inside belt guard
after loosening the pinch bolt and loosening and retightening the rear azle al look ok , belt no dammage shown
i ripped off the worn piece off belt guard , with the next service we will put on a new one
nice XB12Scg in for a service check up, first big service, little km done... and a fresh bike. easy peasy
so drain the oils
fresh gearbox oil in
front plug change from below
looking good
loosening the clutch cable for adjustment on the clutch mechanism
mechanisme back in lightly bottoming and 1/4 turn loose
noticed the shifter pivot bolt is loose, put some loctite on these bolts
oil filter change, fill and prime the new filter
belt check... yep 13000 km no worries here
new plugs set the gap
rear wheel bearings check. again with 13000 not a worrie but check anyway
axle back in and set to tq
chin spoiler bracket back on
airfilter box off to get to the rear spark plug
battery connections still tight
time for the front end , bike swaped around
front wheel out
bearings are good to go
cleaning up the front fork sliders as with the oil change i will slide theme in completly
front end back on and brake fluid replacement.
electrics check warming up and , check the oil level , she is good for the season
hammer time , original exhaust, , chin spoiler off
to get to the rear straps i need to take off the belt tension
to remove the idler pully
long socket 7/16 and loosen the rear straps
and loosen the front mounting.. and the exhaust can come off , the valve was already disabled
new th hammer on sturdy front mount i like it
i noticed the idler pully bearings where gone, i'm not going to leave the customer like this
new bearings pressed in.. the clip best to put in by hand
idler back on and retighten the reasr axle... updated the fuell mapping and ready for test ride smile-emoticon nice sound
